Why? Explain.

First Bolded: I hate you so much, Man.

Second Bolded: I think you've set this all straight for me. If the child can recognize them as mistakes, then there's no reason for them not to be reading it as long as they aren't reading those types of books exclusively.

Third Bolded: This is a funny thing. The reader in question will sometimes ask me how much more she has to read after every paragraph. There are other times when she will protest because I'm cutting her off to work on other things that need to be completed in our time. I can then use reading as a "carrot" to motivate her to work quickly, but effectively.

MUST... STOP... SUBSTANCE!!!

aqhoffman and wintermute both have very good points.

My daughter can read what she wants but usually supervised.

Is that for real?! *facepalm*

Who cares? It did its job!

Thank the heavens for BudPalmer!

That looks horrible.

He's not really my fault, but I'll accept the thanks.

I just searched for a few minutes with no luck. It was about 11-12 years ago when I watched it,so no telling what year the program was from.

The specific science examples I recall were great ones to watch in a room full of many elementary general ed teachers (I was secondary). The main example was students who had been told the wrong cause of the change of seasons. So many non science oriented teachers would just give a simple (and incorrect) answer like " because of how far the earth is away from sun", and this would continually stick with kids when they would try to learn more complex concepts that required a correct understanding of earth's axis tilt, angle of incidence to direct sunlight, etc. It was only one of several ideas in the video, but that one sticks with me.
It was a great show, but I was sooo pissed watching the video show the young, well intentioned women teachers in the school perpetuating a couple completely wrong ideas, that would stew around in the kids' brains later on.
It was like those wildlife videos when you knew the pack of jackals were going to kill the baby zebra. I'm just yelling for the camera crew to do something to fix it, instead of non-interference!!

LPC y u so educational?

Don't blame me, I brought Captain Planet!

If someone has Complainy13 for secret Santa let me know. I just saw a nice copy of Captain Underpants on clearance.

I'm not feeling good, ready for the weekend to be here.

Yeah, I love being sick on the weekends too!
